Purple is a great album, and no way is BS better than Superunkown...The rest I agree with for the most part

The artist I was most offended by (I'm not sure why because there are so many greats listed there) was Fiona Apple.

I love her as an artist, and her two middle albums are really good, but again I wouldn't enjoy listening to them from start to finish as much as Backspacer. I do think the top 4-5 songs on Extraordinary Machines would be better than the best songs on Backspacer.

3. The horrifying truth of our pointless existence becomes that much clearer, and, as one, we step farther out on to the ledge...

I find that these periods post album announcement but pre release date, brings out the very best in RM in terms of laughs, but also brings out the very worst in terms of debate on previous releases.

Long may it run

The more RM keeps ripping on Backspacer the more I keep going back to it and the more I listen to it the more I realize that I actually like it. Thanks RM! Reverse psychology 101
